Wood nor Aramis deserved it. Wood has blown 5 saves, and Ramirez was 1-29 in his last 29 AB's before today.

AJ CREDE ALEXEI WISE DANKS BULLPEN

The last 3 times now we've brought in Linebrink for the save it's been an experiment. You'd think Ozzie would have figured that out already.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 02:22 PM) Attention: Francona. Did. Not. Choose. Varitek. Any further questions? He didn't?

Here's my vent: How does AJ not get in, yet a scum bag like Jason Varitek does? He's hitting, what, .220? I know Francona is the manager, but you'd think the Red Sox would be concerned with winning due to the fact that they're a good team that has a chance at making the Series and would pick the best team. Also, how does Linebrink, Logan, or Thornton not get in? I'm not sure I'd feel more comfortable with another LHP in the league facing a lefty hitter then I do when they bring in Booner or Thornton. BTW- Linebrink's ERA is what, 1.3, and he's not in? What a crock.

QUOTE (Baines3 @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 09:50 PM) Cubs blew one today. I think they are going to fade after the allstar break. IMO, what they're doing now is fading.

I like girl in Brian's avatar.

SWISH BA OC ALEXEI GAV Complete the split tomorrow!

Linebrink struggling of late...

Too bad.

I feel BA has had a very good game. Obviously, the 2 run HR and the other drive to the warning track, but I loved seeing him get that bunt down. In the end, Q and Thome couldn't get them in but I feel that BA had a great game and he should be in CF tomorrow.

Good eyes, JFields. I wouldn't mind Bouchard at all- 50 helpers and 13 netters.

Your best bet- eat at that hot dog place across from that teaching academy. Not sure what it's called but fries come with the hot dog and the hot dogs are vienna beef.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 02:45 PM) I don't think they are moving Bernier. Nor do I think they'd ever move Staal. Plus, didn't the Canucks just get Bernier from Buffalo? Why would they trade him just like that?

Please go to Milwaukee, please go to Milwaukee, please go to Milwaukee................... BTW- 2 closers that come to mind are Fuentes, and Valverde. Houston is most likely done, and although his ERA is at 4.2, he has 22 saves.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 4, 2008 -> 10:49 PM) Mike Smith??? And were you actually listening to this station, or do you have a link where it came from? My bad- I meant Mike. I was listening to it. For my birthday, I got that HD-radio and I get sports radio stations from anywhere in the nation.

FAN590 says TB wants Khabibulin back and are willing to give us Ryan Smith in return. Three good things that would come out of this: 1. Dump Khabby's contract. 2. Give Crawford another year down in Rockford. 3. Crawford is only 23. Smith's contract is up after this season anyway and Crawford will be 24 when he's the back-up. When he's 27, he'll be close to his prime and the starter.

To try to get the trade value up- or something.

Twins up 12-3. 1 GB only.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 4, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) Still looked like the guy was out at 2nd. And at home. But that's no excuse.

If they score here, which as like a 99.9999999% chance of doing so, I think it's safe to call this a day. EDIT- Ball game.
